Nikhil Barshikar, Founder and CEO of Imarticus Learning, said, “The demand for cybersecurity professionals has skyrocketed with increasing instances of cyber crimes like phishing, malware, money laundering, etc. India reported over 18 million cyber threats just during Q1 of 2022, further underscoring the importance of skilled professionals who can protect organisations and the country itself against such threats. Our Advanced Certification Program, in collaboration with IIT Roorkee, will enable learners to gain hands-on experiences from industry experts and apply the concepts learned in the real world. The course will help them become future-ready and qualified to tackle cyber threats of any scale.
